8. Law and Order SolutionsThe scheme would finance the following components under CCTNS: CCTNS application to addressthe police functionality under the scope of CCTNS, procurement and installation of hardware(including PCs and peripherals), connectivity infrastructure, state-level Data Centres, site preparationand commissioning, capacity building and handholding, digitization of historical data, data migrationfrom legacy systems (if any) and specialized applications and infrastructure (that are approved underthe CCTNS scheme).These components would be provided as a “bundle of services” to be executed by a SystemsIntegrator at state level. Funds would be released only against the procurement of the prescribed“bundle of services” and not against the procurement of individual components thereof.2.2 Implementation ModelThe Implementation Strategy for CCTNS has been devised keeping in view the followingconsiderations:• NeGP frameworks of centralized planning and decentralized implementation• Need for ownership of the State Governments of the overall program implementation, theinfrastructure, application and the database; at the same time maintaining uniformity ofinformation systems in order to facilitate information sharing and availability across states and atthe national level• Need to undertake the implementation of this large-scale project in a coordinated manner throughexperienced implementation agencies by entrusting them with the responsibility of end-to-endimplementation with a clear set of deliverables.• Need to synchronize the rollout of the hardware and network components with the rollout of otherequally important soft components such as training, capacity building and change management.Accordingly, CCTNS adopts a “bundling of services” approach to implementation. Accordingly, allthe implementation components at the state level are “bundled” and contracted out to a singleSystems Integrator (SI) who would act as a single point of contact and accountability for theimplementation and performance of CCTNS. The bundle of services would include the following:7
